Esta 7
1 Hatdawkvah, siangpahrang hoi Haman teh siangpahrangnu, Esta e bu a ven roi.
So the king and Haman went to dine with Esther the queen,
2 Hahoi, hnin pahni nah e misur a ven roi navah, siangpahrang ni siangpahrangnu Esta koevah, Siangpahrangnu bangmaw na ngai. Na poe han. Bangmaw na hei han. Uknaeram atangawn totouh na poe han, telah bout atipouh.
and as they drank their wine on that second day, the king asked once more, “Queen Esther, what is your petition? It will be given to you. What is your request? Even up to half the kingdom, it will be fulfilled.”
3 Hatdawkvah, siangpahrangnu Esta ni, Oe bawipa, na lungyouk teh, siangpahrang hnâbonae lah awm pawiteh, ka ngai e teh kahringnae na pâhlung pouh han hoi ka miphunnaw e hringnae pâhlung pouh hane hah doeh.
Queen Esther replied, “If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it pleases the king, grant me my life as my petition, and the lives of my people as my request.
4 Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai hoi ka miphunnaw teh raphoe teh koung thei hanlah ka o toe, napui hai tongpa hai san lah yo han tie pawiteh banghai ka dei mahoeh. Hateiteh, koung pâmit hanelah ka o awh. Siangpahrang, nang hanelah hai sungnae katang lah ao han atipouh.
For my people and I have been sold out to destruction, death, and annihilation. If we had merely been sold as menservants and maidservants, I would have remained silent, because no such distress would justify burdening the king.”
5 Hatdawkvah, siangpahrang ni Esta koevah, Hete hno sak hanlah a lung hoi a kâcai teh khokhan ngam e apimaw, na maw ao, telah a pacei.
Then King Xerxes spoke up and asked Queen Esther, “Who is this, and where is the one who would devise such a scheme?”
6 Esta ni, na katarankung hoi na katukkung teh tami kahawihoehe Haman doeh, telah atipouh. Hatdawkvah, siangpahrang hoi siangpahrangnu e a hmalah Haman teh a taki teh a pâyaw.
Esther replied, “The adversary and enemy is this wicked man—Haman!” And Haman stood in terror before the king and queen.
7 Hahoi, siangpahrang teh misur vennae koehoi lungkhuek laihoi karanglah a thaw teh takha thung a kâen. Haman teh siangpahrangnu Esta koevah a hringnae pâhlung nahanlah kâhei laihoi a kangdue. Bangkongtetpawiteh, siangpahrang ni a lathueng vah hno a sak hane a kâpanue toe.
In his fury, the king arose from drinking his wine and went to the palace garden, while Haman stayed behind to beg Queen Esther for his life, for he realized that the king was planning a terrible fate for him.
8 Hatdawkvah, siangpahrang teh siangpahrang dum hoi misur vennae koe bout a tho navah, Haman teh Esta tahungnae tungkhung teng vah a tabo e a hmu navah, siangpahrang ni hete im dawk ka mithmu roeroe vah siangpahrangnu teh na yonkhai han na maw, telah atipouh. Siangpahrang e kâpoe e patetlah Haman e minhmai hah a kawm pouh awh.
Just as the king returned from the palace garden to the banquet hall, Haman was falling on the couch where Esther was reclining. The king exclaimed, “Would he actually assault the queen while I am in the palace?” As soon as the words had left the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face.
9 Hatdawkvah, siangpahrang hanlah tuenla e tami Harbonah ni, Khenhaw! siangpahrang hmalah lawk kahawi ka dei e Mordekai bang nahanlah dong 50 ka rasang e Haman ni a sak tangcoung e khom Haman im vah ao, telah atipouh. Siangpahrang ni haw vah bang awh, atipouh.
Then Harbonah, one of the eunuchs attending the king, said: “There is a gallows fifty cubits high at Haman’s house. He had it built for Mordecai, who gave the report that saved the king.” “Hang him on it!” declared the king.
10 Hatdawkvah, Mordekai bang nahane hmuen dawkvah Haman teh a bang awh. Siangpahrang e lungkhueknae teh a roum toe.
So they hanged Haman on the gallows he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the fury of the king subsided.
